The point was, I don't expect it to work or work smoothly. CUDA was made for Nvidia, same for ROCm on AMD. Comparing CUDA on AMD or ROCm isn't a fair If Nvidia is better at AI tasks and is superior. Great. Maybe they can finally l

Mostly. I'm not an Apple fan either. To be fair to Apple their hardware was always overpriced. Their deal is hardware + software combo.

Except the user-base wants infinite customizability, and users are often to mess with it. And getting the code to just work together nicely is a nightmare, where OS updates can break drivers, forcing you to try to jerry rig a solution that

Yeah, duplicating/triplicating/n-cating bugs, feature development and support effort, really paid off for the Linux desktop ecosystem. Which year will be the year of the Linux desktop? One, when we get brain to brain communication

Linux biggest problem as a consumer OS was rarely tech and mostly just the schizoid amount of options, and lack of consensus on what to use. In essence Linux suffers from a Lisp curse. Whenever two OS nerds disagreed on something they made

Would be great, but wouldn't hold my breath for it. LLVM and Rustc can be both be kinda slow to stabilize.

Sure, but they have one thing that makes them better than CPUs, they consume more ;)

Yeah, but those rely on setting up the evolve function. And they aren't well guaranteed to be better than humans. They might find you an improvement, but aren't guaranteed to do as shown here[1] (green means better, red means wors

That's less LLM and more three projects by DeepMind team. And it's far from commercial availability.

Good. Maybe now they can prove Hawking radiation in something that isn't a bath tub. Or an oven.

I'm seriously starting to wonder do we even need JavaScript. Or images. How much could you do with UTF-8 web page.

Wdym? The language supports it, how else could have serde done it? The issue here is getting storage and compute for build artifacs for cargo. Cargo isn't the language though.

And from Internals discussion ( https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/add-some-form-of-precompil... ) it seems this causes more problems than it solves. It requires huge storage, for each combination of targets, and even if

So it comes out of box with good renderers, physics engines, localization, input controllers and in-game GUIs?

Honestly, I'm wondering what kind of pathology do you see that isn't just a community stereotype, and that won't change with the influx of new programmers? And how does it differ from the average Open-Source Project?

Sure, but it is pragmatic in other ways as well :) It takes ADT, but not function currying, and so on.

No? This happens in any language that has keyword args. If I delete/rename a field of a class in any statically checked language, it's going to report a compile error, and it's still a breaking change. Same thing with named a

To be clear, everyone in Rust community (on Reddit, Twitter, etc) was shocked by this, and people started asking for explanations. This led to several people stepping down, and seems to have been miscommunication between Rust Foundation and
